ATP Race Update after Miami Open: Jakub Mensik skyrockets to No. 6 as Jannik Sinner remains untouchable at the top

With the conclusion of the Miami Open, Jakub Mensik emerged as the biggest winner, claiming the title and soaring from No. 44 to No. 6 in the ATP Race to Turin earning 1,000 ATP ranking points. Jannik Sinner remains comfortably at the top, nearing two months of his suspension. Despite playing just one tournament, the Italian retains his No. 1 ranking.

Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic also climbed the rankings, moving up to No. 4 and pushing Carlos Alcaraz down to No. 5. Other notable names in the top 10 include Alexander Zverev, Jack Draper, and Felix Auger-Aliassime.

It has now been eight weeks since Jannik Sinner’s suspension began, yet the Italian remains firmly in first place in the ATP Race—an incredible feat given that only 2025 points are counted and Sinner has played just one tournament: the Australian Open, where he secured the title and 2,000 points.

However, his closest rivals in recent months have failed to capitalize on his absence. Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz had opportunities to claim the top spot but, despite playing multiple tournaments, neither has been able to surpass Sinner’s 2,000-point tally.

Zverev, the Australian Open finalist, has only added 365 points (1,665 total) since his third Grand Slam final defeat, keeping him in second place—though other players are closing in fast. Indian Wells champion Jack Draper now sits in third place (1,540 points) despite suffering an early exit in Miami against eventual champion Mensik.

Miami Open champion Jakub Mensik jumped 38 places after his title run, positioning himself at No. 6 in the ATP Race to Turin at just 19 years old. His first ATP title came at the Masters 1000 level, setting him up for a strong season and a solid ranking position moving forward.

In the Miami final, he stunned Novak Djokovic—who was chasing his 100th career title and 40th Masters 1000 crown. Despite the loss, Djokovic earned 650 points (1,510 total), climbing from No. 9 to No. 4 in the Race.

Carlos Alcaraz (1,410 points) dropped further back after an unexpected opening-round loss to David Goffin, missing a prime opportunity to gain points and potentially overtake Sinner.

Other notable movers include Miami semifinalists Grigor Dimitrov and Taylor Fritz. Dimitrov, who had his first deep run of the year, jumped from No. 73 to 26—a much more fitting spot for a player of his caliber. Fritz, the best-performing American in Miami, also benefited from his semifinal run, breaking into the ATP Race top 10.
